My network updates its software every night at midnight. There was a problem with a couple of blocking packages night before last, so I unmerged the two blocking packages and did the emerge -avuD world in a screen. Now they're done and I can no longer su - to root from my personal account. I have to log completely out and then log in as root from the login screen. I use users-admin for my user maintenance, but now there's a tab that says "User Privileges" where the "User's Groups" tab used to be, so I can't figure out how to make sure that my personal account is in the right group(s) to su - to root. A lot of things are different now. I keep a gnome-terminal open at all times and it the prompt now shows "[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $" when I'm in my home directory instead of "[EMAIL PROTECTED] michael $" which I preferred. I could su - to root yesterday while the upgrades were taking place and root's prompt was the same. And then my Inbox Monitor applet is gone, so I have to click on the running evolution button every time I want to see if I have any email (which is quite often actually). Is there any way I can fix all this, or at least get my su - privileges back?
